Testing Go CLI Applications with Test Script Jakub Jarosz Belfast
Gophers Meetup - February 2023
cli applications http://blog.chriss-baumann.de/2010/07/26/because-life-is-too-short-for-manual-testing
cli applications & testscript http://blog.chriss-baumann.de/2010/07/26/because-life-is-too-short-for-manual-testing
testscript - run commands exec echo 'Hello Gophers!' stdout 'Hello
Gophers\n'
testscript - run commands ! exec cat not_existing_file.txt stderr 'cat:
not_existing_file.txt: No such file or directory'
testscript - run binaries exec hello stdout 'Hello Belfast Gophers\n'
testscript - run binaries with args exec hello Shawn stdout
'Hello Gopher, Shawn' ! stderr .
testscript - run binaries with args ! exec hello !
stdout . stderr 'usage: Hello Gopher NAME'
testscript - code coverage
testscript - cmp & golden files exec hello Kate cmp
stdout golden.txt -- golden.txt -- Hello Gopher, Kate!
testscript - exists, grep & regex exec hello Michael -o
greet.txt exists greet.out grep 'Michael' greet.out
testscript - txtar files & dir structure -- misc/file1.txt --
... -- misc/subfolder/file2.txt -- ... -- etc/file3.txt -- ...
testscript - file operations cp rm mv mkdir …
testscript - comments & test phases # Test 1 -
run hello without argos ... # Test 2 - run hello with args ... # Test 3 - run hello with invalid args ...
testscript - env vars env API_KEY= ! exec myprog stderr
'API_KEY must be set'
testscript - conditions [go1.16] exec echo 'We have at least
Go 1.16' [!arm64] exec echo 'This is a non-arm64 machine' [darwin] exec echo 'We''re on macOS'
testscript - extensions (custom functions)
testscript - background test steps
testscript - example project structure ── hello ├── go.mod ├──
go.sum ├── hello.go ├── hello_test.go └── testdata └── script └── hello.txtar
testscript.Run func TestScript(t *testing.T) { testscript.Run(t, testscript.Params{ Dir: "testdata/script", })
}
testscript.RunMain func TestMain(m *testing.M) { os.Exit(testscript.RunMain(m, map[string]func() int{ "hello": hello.RunCLI,
})) }
testscript - standalone testscript runner testscript testdata/script/*
summary • Excellent for testing CLI tools and binaries •
Runs along other tests • Saves time • Builds confidence • It’s derived directly from the code used to test Go tool itself!
